The sound of higher speeds alerts the surrounding vehicles and pedestrians.

7. Prevent the car chasing your tail

When the traffic suddenly slows down, make sure to the left or right of the car in front of you. This will give you an escape route if necessary. If the car behind you fails to stop in time, it will also help you avoid being knocked flat into a hood trim. Once you stop, always be ready - clutch, your motorcycle in the right gear, your eyes should be fixed on the mirror. Because you will never know what will happen.

8. Be observant and alert very much

9. Precautions of left turn

When a car is approaching ready to stop and turn left, your lights should be bright so the driver can see you (even during the day) but can not save you. Focus on the wheel of the car or the driver's hand on the steering wheel. If you see it moving, getting ready for braking, turning or accelerating, decide which one is the best choice.
